"Find an Exracer" is a message board put together to list horses who are in need of a career change from racing.
There are many fabulous groups out there assisting racing owners and trainers get their retiring racehorses into new, non-race homes. However, these groups cannot cover every single track in the country and are often bound by their geographical limitations. We receive many emails a day asking for help for their horse, but cannot do much as they are out the geographic area of the individual groups. This board will serve as an intermediary solution to assist areas who do not have another option.
Please follow the rules on the board, which are (Subject to be changed as needed!)
DISCLAIMER!
Find An OTTB is an advertisement service ONLY! We do not guarantee the soundness, temperament, age, suitability or condition of any horse at any time. We recommend that you have a pre-purchase exam done and use caution when considering any horse listed for sale.
How to visit a horse on the track.
If you see a horse you like, you MUST contact the person affiliated with the horse. If the horse is on the track, this person will need to get you a DAY PASS so you may be on the track legally. Do NOT attempt to get to the backside of the racetrack without a DAY PASS from an owner or trainer.
Horse suitability:
These are GREEN horses and many are still actively racing. They are NOT FOR BEGINNER OR GREEN RIDERS; They take a significant amount of retraining to become pleasure horses. If you would like an exracehorse who has been retrained, please visit the "RETRAINED Exracers" forum.
Taking a horse on trial:
Please remember these horses are for SALE, NOT FOR TRIAL OR LEASE. You take on these horses AT YOUR OWN RISK and neither the owners of this board nor its representatives are responsible. Should you and the trainer/owner work out a trial period arrangement that arrangement is between the two of you and this board's representatives are not responsible or obligated to get involved.
Free Service:
The service is FREE to both those listing and buying. We do not set the prices of any horses nor do we negotiate the price and terms of horse sales. That is solely between buyer and seller, We do not receive any commission on horses bought through the site, nor do we have financial ties to the sellers.
As a General Rule, Video's are not available of these horses. Please contact the advertiser via Private Message or by the contact information provided for more information on the horse.

- Horses must be involved in the racing industry. This includes horses who have actively raced or trained, broodmares, horses bred for racing, or pony horses.

- List all appropriate information for the horse you are listing. This includes: LOCATION, NAME, AGE, HEIGHT, COLOR, MARKINGS, TEMPERAMENT (1-10 where 10 is high spirited), SOUNDNESS LEVEL, PREVIOUS INJURIES, VICES and PRICE. Please also include CONTACT INFORMATION: EMAIL and PHONE. Advertisements that do not include pertinant information will be moved to the "incomplete" forum.
